ranges and familiar harmonies enhance its
accessibility. A perfect concert feature or encore
for your mixed or women's choir! (The SATB is
a cappella; the SSA is accompanied.)

never sounded like this before! In an incredibly
clever way, Greg has taken the original song into
some unpredictable directions, resulting in a novelty
number that is an absolute delight! Each verse has
a little musical treat, such as knee-slaps, bees
buzzing, or snippets of familiar tunes like Skip To My
Lou; Chopsticks and There's No Place Like Home.

This will definitely be a highlight of your program!

n This Old Hammerarr. Neil Ginsberg. The folk
tale of John Henry comes to life in this rhythmic
call-and-response style setting. The historical notes
describe how railroad workers sang the song while
laying railroad track by hand, and the arrangement
captures the bluesy feeling those workers must
have experienced. If you listen carefully to the piano
accompaniment, you can even hear the sound of a
hammer hitting a spike!

H
Ahrirangarr. Brad Printz. This extraordinary
arrangement highlights the striking difference

musical style, presenting the song in both ways.
The text speaks of Ahrirang Hill outside of Seoul,
Korea, believed to be a symbol of personal
contentment and triumph. This superb setting
offers a marvelous cross-cultural slant on the
favorite folksong while the canonic nature of the
melody presents an excellent opportunity to develop
independent part-singing!
